Hawk 34

Why is Chris Benoit being mentioned? He signed a contract with WWE and he is on the upcoming touring schedule. Everyone makes sense as far as being rumored suggestions despite not being realistic by any stretch of the imagination.

Here is an idea... What do you WANT it to be? Keeping it realistic, (meaning no Lesnar/Angle/Hart fantasies)... We know the timeslot and Russo stuff, that's already been openly revealed. While the "major announcment" is going to involve those things, it isn't neccesarily the entire deal. The only thing really to measure this hype is if they signed a current WWE top level contracted worker under the rader and with the legal contracts WWE has on big name talents, that isn't possible anymore. The announcment will be a failure in terms of matching the hype but it does need to matter.

Just to clairify again, It isn't Brock Lesnar Kurt Angle Chris Jericho Bret Hart KENTA Chris Benoit

The point is Jericho isn't struggling to make a living. His fire as a wrestler was burnt out and he's doing various projects to keep himself active.

Being a WWE worker, especially that as a mid-carder is hardly being a "real star". Jericho has done more then just bit roles on Sci-Fi and VH1 (which he was doing before he left WWE anyways). He had success in theatre and he has his radio show as well. You act as if Jericho is in the gutter because of a one week stint on a reality talent show.

Perhaps Eli realized that coming back is more fun and gets more attention then playing good for the entire 60 minutes.

Hey, HTQ. When is the last time a mainstream wrestling promotion hyped something this much (in terms of "surprise") and managed to pay it off? In all honestly, aside from BATB '96...I can't think of many.

What a great first of half of football. Cincy/Pittsburgh was hard hitting and intense with great plays and crazy antics, Chicago/Minnesota was typical Chicago football (ugly) and bunch of close games throughout the nation.

Pittsburgh is going to score and hit the 2pt conversion, I can feel it. Edit: Roethlisberger, after a Brady drive ends up going Culpepper on the last play.

Roethlisberger is Bradying this drive as well.

Well Ben is currently doing his best Brady impersonation on this drive... Driving down the field to settle for a FG? That is the early Brady. Did I just see Peyton Manning run for a TD?

I don't think I have ever seen an exciting and intense game with this many ints, sacks and fumbles and yet some fantastic plays such as that TD to TJ right there from Palmer. I said in my blog eariler this week that Ben isn't the same and he obviously doesn't have the drive he once did and that's been very evident in this game.

They said she was "charged". Cue the hilarious court scenes and Earl becoming a lawyer somehow as a result.

Roethlisberger and Palmer, having been getting killed all day. Palmer is making Culpepper look like Montana.

All they would have to do is drop the usage of "Fuck" and "Cock" and it'll fit in with FX's current programing.

Isn't Jeff Blake still hanging round somewhere in the NFL? That should indicate Daunte's future.

Pittsburgh is having trouble covering Chad and his mouth, that it leaves Chris Henry without any coverage on him.

That's why he restructures his new contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. Provisions galore. Creative control like Hogan and Foley. Less dates. With the dearth of main eventers, it's very possible. No way does Jericho have that kind of stroke. That's why I don't think we'll see him back -- he wouldn't come back just to be another guy in the mix, which is what would likely happen. Jericho, while often misused was greatly looked upon by the company as one of the very few "go-to" guys. He was always credible enough to plug into the main event when they needed someone or for him to put someone over. Jericho, won't get a creative control clause but as far as working dates are concerned, he does have a legitimate chance at getting things to fall on his side.

I thought the line about T.J was better, "TELL TJ, THAT I KNOW HIS MAMA!"

God f'n damnit, what happened to Vince McMahon's promotion? EFA. Great wrestling is still out there, and in some cases vastly superior to that era.

I'm seriously going for a winless season. I want to be the Temple of Bored's pick-em's.

New Job. New Girl. I knew that I couldn’t let myself be stagnate for too long and I managed to avoid getting trapped in a rhythm of idleness. The New Job I was getting bored with just school-work because after that was concluded or just ignored, that left me with nothing to do. Which leads me to wasting time doing nothing, such as being at TSM, for instance. I got in touch with an old co-worker of mine that left a few months ago, back when I was still working on the floor. After a few minutes of bullshitting, he dropped a mention that he was running his brother’s car repair shop. He needed someone to run the office since he was more mechanically inclined then running a business. Since I have experience in office work and I’m more then capable of car repairs, It seems like an comfortable fit for me for the time being. I start next Friday. It should be good, It’s close to school and I’ll only be working there 25 hours a week, so that’s nothing and the pay (decent) isn’t a concern right now. I just needed to be in some working environment and I know the people there, so it should be a good deal. I intend for this to be short-term. - Getting the Girl. Over the past couple weeks, I have made references to a particular dilemma. That being the process of moving into a new relationship. The issue was that, I had one girl that I wanted. There was another girl that showed a great deal of interest in me. The latter, wasn’t bad. Usually, I would have gone for it despite her status with another guy and especially with her already knowing my family. The problem was the other girl. I just had a relationship over the summer that was involved with someone who knew my family well and it obviously didn’t work out as greatly as I had hoped…but the more important reasoning for me not directly making my move for the girl who made it rather clear about her intentions was simply because I had to get the other girl. It started about 3 ½ weeks ago, it’s the classic story. She was in my class and across the room. Our eyes met and from there, it was intense. After a few days of nothing but mere eye contact, I finally went to her in the parking lot. This begun a routine of casual conversation and flirtation… Friday morning, in an ugly, rainy morning, She (Allison) pulled up next to me in her car and she waved at me as I was getting out. She looked fantastic. She’s tall, for a girl at least. (5’9) with very slender toned body and really fantastic blue eyes. She stepped out wearing a pair of light blue track pants and a blue half zipped track jacket with nothing underneath. We talked as we headed to class, which was an exam day, this gave us a ice-breaker for the 10 minute walk. During the exam, she looked across to me and whispered “Let’s get out of here”. So, we rushed through the rest of the exam and left together. We talked a little more and as we got back to our cars (that was our only class that day), I pulled her in a little and finally drop the obvious question… As rain began to douse us, I took a quick look into her eyes, and I grinned. “So, tomorrow night? I hope you don’t have any plans because I have every intention of taking you out. So, what are your plans now?” I asked with more confidence then ever before in my life as I watched her bite her lower lip and she raised her eyebrows and smiled with this slight chuckle “Finally” she laughed “What does that mean?” I continued to play along “It took you awhile, I was getting worried but yeah, tomorrow night sounds great.” My heart bloomed at the sound of her acceptance “Cool, I’ll pick you up ’bout 8?” “Great” she smiled once again as she slipped back into her car and I watched her drive off. The Date She lived in Oxford (Miami’s campus) and I went to her apartment and I was introduced and inspected by her room-mates. I hate room-mates, because it forces you to work around with them as well but I didn’t have much problem with those 2 girls. She came out looking magnificent in a captivating black and white dress. We went to this restaurant in my hometown, it’s a **** joint, which meant of course, higher priced meal. I didn’t take her to impress her with a higher priced restaurant but because the building was once the City Building. My mother worked there as an secretary for the Mayor before I was born. My old house, where I came up was ½ mile from the restaurant. I wanted her to get a full idea of who I am and where I came up at. It just happened that I threw in a really good dinner. Everything went right, the dinner was fantastic and we were really clicking. So many things we had in common but not so much that it was like dating a mirror image. She’s very intelligent and sweet but has a slight coldness to her (combined with her height and body frame, it almost reminded me of TSM’s own, Leena! Scary, I know). We took a walk around town to show her my old house, my old playground and all the crazy shit I did here. I could tell she really enjoyed it. So there it was, a light drizzle but we didn’t care as we headed to that old playground and we climbed up the tiny step ladder and took a seat on top of the monkey bars and looked out at the empty field and the moon right in front of us. We took each other’s hands and just sat in silence for about 20 minutes when the rain started picking up. We ran back, laughing to my car which was still at the restaurant. I thought of taking her back to my house but I figured that was jumping too quick. We went back to Oxford and I took her right to her apartment door. Then, it was that always scary but so fulfilling moment when we just leaned up against the door and took each other hands once again and she kissed me. I kissed her back. After a few minutes of this, we finally came down from it.. She opened the door and smiled and she whispered sweetly “You’re amazing. See you Monday?” and slipped another quick kiss and finally went back inside. So, here it is. I wanted this and I got her. I’m terrified now. It’s one thing to have a okay date and have uncertainty in the future but when you hit a virtual home run and you know it has everything you hoped for…it makes you nervous and paranoid. It’s been about 3 hours since that moment by her door and I’m craving for more but not the physical nature of it. I need the connection, that electricity that charges throughout. That’s the kill. On monday morning, I’ll be seeing her again in that parking lot at school, where just 4 days ago…this whole idea seemed like a distant fantasy. Reality is always better then the fantasy.

Yet, that's all they really can do is push their brady past. Peter Brady, being in the dumps used the Peter Brady name and got a hot piece of ass and two reality shows on VH1. Florence Henderson, for a 65+ year old chick still looks fantastic. Jan Brady, is obviously very bitter because she none of the guys fucked her on set like they did with Marcia and Cindy. Cindy, did porn didn't she? I remember the Marcia chick still be pretty fairly attractive in her mid 40's as well. I think the only real bitter person is Eve Plumb. Everyone else knows it was a show or uses it for whatever gain they can get.

It's just Jericho pandering to the fanbase. It's the same act The Rock did before finally slamming the door shut.

His push has been scaled back and everyone hates him at Smackdown. Can't blame him.
